My wife is very disappointed that Farnsworth is gone. She called him cutie-pie.

I, on the other hand, am mixed about it. I am frustrated that he never reached the incredible potential that I think he has, and worry that he might start showing it now. On the other hand, it is well known that Kyle had a problem with maturity and being a professional athlete. His late nights at the bars and clubs are renown. If he decides to be a professional pitcher, he could be awesome.

I found an interesting program on Sports Psychology that mentioned studies done on the Houston Astro's minor leaguers.

The program aired on the Research Channel, which is available via the Dish Network and FTA satellite...and also via archived webcasts! So you can probably watch this if you're interested.

Sport Psychology: Keys to Peak Performance

This program focuses on the psychology of athletic prowess and how to tap your inner self for optimum physical performance. The speaker is an expert on personality and mental training techniques and sport anxiety management and works with coaches, student-athletes, and athletic trainers.

Comcast re-airs some games. Watch game times carefully for reruns. ESPN2 games might include Steve Stone as announcer. All times listed are central time zone.

If you're Tivo'ing or recording the games to vcr, remember to add 10 minutes to the beginning of the telecast for the pregame show and add extra time at the end too for the post game show and in case the game runs over the allotted time.
